Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Ipswich
All eyes will be on Fratton Park when Portsmouth and Ipswich Town face each other in the League One round 14. The Pompey aim to bounce back from a 4-1 loss to Rotherham, where they experienced all sorts of problems at the back, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at the Tractor Boys. Ronan Curtis returns from suspension, while all Clark Robertson, Paul Downing, and Ellis Harrison are all sidelined through injuries.
Ipswich Town, on the other hand, head into the match following a 2-2 draw with Cambridge United. The Tractor Boys aim to move closer to the playoffs berth, but seeing that Portsmouth crushed Sunderland 4-0 in their last home game, we predict that the Pompey will pick up all three points from the match. Lee Evans should be the only absentee in the away team.
